Privacy NoticeRichard Madeley didn’t hold back when he criticised a Good Morning Britain guest for using a controversial “skinny jab”. The 68-year-old TV star was co-hosting the ITV breakfast programme with Kate Garraway on Tuesday (July 16) morning, delivering the latest news headlines to viewers. Journalist Charlotte Griffiths was invited onto the show and she discussed her decision to use the Wegoby injection ‘pen’ – one of the self-administered weight-loss jabs that have become popular worldwide – in an attempt to achieve a beach-ready body. Despite not being overweight and having a body mass index (BMI) at the lower end of the “normal” range, Charlotte admitted that she let a friend administer the jab without doing any prior research, simply getting “caught up in the moment”.

Richard, known for his forthright opinions, called Charlotte “you idiot” live on air, causing her to quickly put her head in her hands as she received a stern reprimand from the TV personality, reports the Express. Sitting next to Dr Hilary Jones, Charlotte spoke openly about her experience with the ‘skinny jab’ and how it made her feel as if she was “hungover”.

Richard’s comment sparked outrage among viewers at home, who took to social media to express their disapproval. On X, formerly known as Twitter, one fan wrote: “Richard, you can’t call someone an idiot on TV”. Another said: “Fancy calling your guest a idiot.” A third person concurred: “Richard Madeley calling his guest Charlotte Griffiths ‘an idiot.'”. Charlotte candidly admitted in her Daily Mail piece that she was “so stupid” and “bitterly regretted” dabbling with the trend. NHS England’s national medical director, Professor Stephen Powis, has expressed concern over the surge of young people seeking a “quick fix” for a “beach-body ready” figure through weight-loss drugs.

Dr Vicky Price from the Society For Acute Medicine has also raised the alarm about the growing number of patients arriving at hospitals with issues stemming from new weight-loss medications bought online. Charlotte herself acknowledged she nearly fell victim to this dangerous fad. The weight-loss injections Wegovy and Ozempic have been making waves as a wonder solution for those battling with weight issues, with high-profile names like Elon Musk, Rebel Wilson, and Oprah Winfrey confirming their use of the treatment to shed pounds. At the close of their chat, Richard extended an apology to Charlotte for previously calling her “an idiot”.
